Textile export opportunity: Join UKFT on a trip to VIATT in Vietnam
09/12/2024
UK textile companies have the opportunity to join UKFT on a subsidised research trip to the Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) in February 2025. Scroll down to find out more…
UKFT supports UK textile companies at events throughout the world including Première Vision, Milano Unica and Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics through the Discover British Textiles campaign. In 2025, we are expanding our activities to explore new international markets for UK textiles.
The first of those new opportunities will be at VIATT between 26-28 February in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This will be just the second edition of VIATT after it debuted last February. The event is positioned as the ASEAN region’s most comprehensive trade fair covering the full textile value chain: Apparel Fabrics & Fashion, Home & Contract Textiles, and Technical Textiles & Technologies.
UKFT will be visiting the event for the first time this February to better understand the potential opportunities for UK textile industry in this emerging market. To get a broader point of view, UKFT is keen to visit the show with a delegation of UK businesses. To support this, Messe Frankfurt has very kindly agreed to provide funding for five companies to visit the show. This will include:
- Two nights of accommodation at a hotel near to the exhibition centre
- A £200 contribution towards your travel costs
This funding will be assigned strictly on a “first come, first served” basis. Please register your interest by emailing daniel.connolly@ukft.org by 20 December 2024.
